## What it is
A Dockerfile and Docker Compose setup for running Apache Airflow, the workflow orchestration scheduler, published as a public Docker Hub image. It supports Sequential, Local, and Celery executors with Postgres as backend and Redis as queue.

## Use cases
- run apache airflow in docker
- set up airflow with docker-compose
- deploy airflow with celery executor
- containerize my data pipeline scheduler
- quickly spin up an airflow webserver
- orchestrate etl workflows with airflow

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made Docker image of Airflow without building your own
- you need a quick local Airflow environment with docker-compose
- you want to test different Airflow executors (Sequential, Local, Celery)

## When to avoid
- you need the latest Airflow version or active support - the project is in maintenance mode
- you run Airflow on Kubernetes and should use the official Airflow Helm chart instead
- you need a supported production deployment - the official Apache Airflow Docker images are better maintained

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: maintenance
- function: workflow-automation, scheduling, container-runtime, deployment
- domain: -
- platform: python
- tags: apache-airflow, docker-image, docker-compose, workflow-orchestration, scheduler, celery, postgres, redis, data-engineering, devops, automation, containers, docker, linux
